Clock in again

The timer starts running again.
Open the day
On your phone, use the menu button to open the menu first.

A side panel opens with one Time entry for each time you clocked in.
Open the second time entry
Select the second Time entry to expand it. You see its Clock in/out times.
Change the clock-in time
In the second Time entry, under Clock in/out, change the clock-in time to the time you clocked out by mistake.
The new time appears and you see “This time entry has unsaved changes”.
Apply the changes
Select Apply changes.
After you select the button, you see “Changes saved successfully” or, if your company reviews changes, “Changes sent for approval”.
If you don’t see it
- You can’t edit a time entry that is still running. Clock out first, then open the day.
- If you see “This entry overlaps with another entry”, the new clock-in time is earlier than your previous clock-out. Use the same time or a later one.
Common questions
Can I undo a clock-out?
No. Clock in again and correct the time afterwards in Clock-in records.
Does my manager see the change?
If your company reviews changes, the day shows PENDING until your manager approves it. Every change appears in Logs history.
What if I forgot to clock in again?
Open that day later in Clock-in records and select Add entry to add the time you worked. You can do this for past days, not for today.
Result
The day shows no gap between your two time entries, and your hours include the minutes you had lost.
